Former President Trump criticized the judge presiding over his 2020 election case, just days after she warned him against making any “inflammatory statements” that could intimidate witnesses or prejudice the jury pool.

In a statement posted overnight on Truth Social, Trump called U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan “highly partisan” and “very biased & unfair.”

“She obviously wants me behind bars,” he added.

    no one is above the law

    Why do we keep repeating this obviously false ideal when we make no progress towards making it true?

      All ideals are false. The entire point of ideals is to strive to change the world to meet them.

      And whether those efforts see fruition this year, this decade, or even in your lifetime, is beside the point. Ideals are a multigenerational project, with all the ups and downs that implies.
